I have had anxiety issues for years and recovered in the past, now I am having symptoms I never had. It seems like I get a emotional or possibly a fear hit from stupid things.

I can think of a plate or my car or a friends face and I get this reaction that may be fear, it happens hundreds of times a day and it is like I am afraid of everything. I have never had this, is this how having bad anxiety feels?

Hi MysticSoul

Cool name. It does sound like anxiety to me I have had this in the past but was also depressed at that point in time which may of had something to do with it. Anxiety has a whole host of symptoms I would go and have a chat with your doctor and see what they say. Let us know how you get on and we are here to offer support when ever you need it.

Hi MysticSoul

What you described sounds like anxiety.  This is exactly how I feel when the anxiety spikes and my depression is trying to take charge of me............. skull skull .

I would start with your  PCP for a medical screening exam and then from there look into therapy or a CBT Program.  Check  out our resources at the top of the page and in the 3rd post down you will find links to helpful site to help you learn how to control this anxiety.

Good to see you back with us.

Kindly,

Kitt

Thanks guys - I have had extensive medical evaluations and have been with a therapist for over a year. I am still getting worse especially after I was put on a low carb diet 6 weeks ago and it caused severe hypoglycemia attacks - back to a regualr diet but my nervous system that was bad is now hideous

Hi Mystic:)

Wow, hypoglycemia is very serious, and can certainly cause feelings similar to those in a panic attack. Heart palpitations, sweating, paresthesia, feeling faint, ect.,

This could certainly have triggered your recent reoccurance of anxiety and fear. I am glad that you are onto a more balanced diet now.

Give it time, and use all of your tools to keep the anxiety at bay. One of my favorites is a positive mantra...

"I am okay, it is only fear that is making me feel this way."

I repeat this to myself if I am having symptoms and a hard day. It reminds me that the anxiety is responsible, and it will pass like it always does.:)

Take care and keep posting with us!
